Effects and mechanisms of different exogenous organic matters on selenium and cadmium uptake by rice in natural selenium-cadmium-rich soil.

ABSTRACT: Many natural selenium (Se)-rich rice plants are being polluted by cadmium (Cd). In this study, for reducing Cd concentrations in rice grains while maintaining Se concentrations, the effects of different exogenous organic matters (OMs), such as humic acid (HA), cow manure (CM), and vermicompost (VC), on Se and Cd uptake in rice growing in natural Se-Cd-rich paddy soils were investigated by pot experiments. The Se and Cd concentrations in the soil solution, their species in the soil, and their concentrations and translocations in rice tissues were determined. Results showed that different exogenous OMs exhibited distinct percentage changes in Se and Cd levels in rice grains with amplitudes of -19.42 % and -56.90 % (significant, p < 0.05) in the HA treatments, +10.79 % and -1.72 % in t
